Matches Commingled TV Viewership Data with Privacy-Compliant Digital Identities for Superior Audience Targeting; Delivers Advanced Reach/Frequency Management to Maximizes Campaign Impact Across Linear TV and Digital While Minimizing Over-Exposure

VideoAmp announced the debut of its Custom TV Viewership Audiences. These advanced TV segments map ACR-based TV and set-top box viewership data directly to privacy-compliant digital identity through a deterministic match and support the integration of first- and third-party data. They empower advertisers and their agencies to plan, activate and measure People-Powered TV cross-channel campaigns.

Commingled ACR and set top box TV viewership data creates scale and provides advertisers with a more robust and complete model of US television viewership, including household-level ad exposure. VideoAmp’s unrivaled data science team has developed advanced skew correction and modeling methodologies to correct demographic biases and model to a national ‘universe.’

A key use case for Custom TV Viewership Audiences is to help advertisers more effectively manage reach and frequency of their campaigns across linear TV and digital media. Once a linear TV campaign attains 70 percent of national reach, each incremental reach point using TV alone can cost millions. Index-based TV, combined with digital, is a lower cost option for adding incremental reach points to a campaign.

VideoAmp’s Custom TV Viewership Audiences ensure that TV exposure data is continually updating digital targeting, ensuring the campaign is building incremental reach while controlling over-exposure. They were created as a natural extension of the Advanced TV Planning platform that VideoAmp delivered last April in time for the Upfronts. Already, $10 billion in media investment has been planned via the innovative planning platform.

“We’re helping advertisers shift from age/gender planning and measurement currencies to advanced audiences that are better proxies of sales lift and other desired business outcomes,” said Nick Chakalos, SVP & GM, Data & Emerging Products, VideoAmp. ”As demand for actionable, high-quality audience segments continues to grow across platforms, such as agency trading desks, DSPs, DMPs and exchanges, they will also generate additional revenue for participating technology platforms and data providers.
